Chapter 222: Negotiations in the East Palace

Shen Wenshou was killed on the wedding day, and after a few days, it slowly came to peace, because General Shen was unwell and could not go to the court, and the forces under the king intended to divert this matter, so everyone was gradually attracted by other things.

Even if the Criminal Department and Dali Temple didn't find out anything, the emperor didn't mean to rush it, after all, this kind of thing was not painful for the emperor, no matter how high Shen Qingzhi's military merits were? Now that he is just an old man, what can he do for the court?

If it was a prince who died on the day of the wedding, then the nature of the matter would be completely different in the eyes of the emperor, and he would associate party strife with death, and he would definitely use all his manpower to investigate the matter thoroughly by all means.

It's a pity that it was Shen Qingzhi's son who died, a son who didn't have any identity in the court, according to the law, this matter was naturally handed over to Dali Temple to deal with, so why should the emperor worry about it?

Liu Xun was under house arrest, no one could enter and leave King Kang's mansion inside and outside, King Ding was really an ant on a hot pot now, and he was in a hurry, without Liu Xun, there was no way to carry out his plans behind him, and there was no way for him to use his means, and all the roads were blocked by Shen Wenshou's death.

At such an important time, he didn't even want to waste a minute or a second, but now, what was he wasting more than a minute and a second? Seeing that the East Palace was enjoying its success, it was difficult for King Ding to sit up, and he made plans with the Xie family for several days, but there was no way to realize it, because most of the resources were in Liu Xun's hands.

Now that this sudden blow has made them have no way to take over the resources from Liu Xun's hands, they can only watch the heavily guarded King Kang's Mansion, but they can't go half a step.

At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took advantage of this excellent opportunity to woo people everywhere, thinking of interrupting all the connections that King Ding had accumulated over the years, so that he would have no one to trust and no one to use.

The East Palace was solicited everywhere, and finally reached the door of the Chang Mansion, Ji Yao was very surprised by the appearance of His Royal Highness the Prince, because not long ago, she had a falling out with the Prince, and the Prince at that time made it clear that he had made a series of measures to deal with Ji Yao, saying that he wanted to bring the Chang family back, which is an unlikely thing to think about.

Even if he had a big holiday with the prince before, this time, Ji Yao still agreed to the invitation of the East Palace, which almost made the prince overjoyed.

"Ji Yao is here, sit down!" In the palatial teahouse, the prince stood up very excitedly after seeing Ji Yao's figure, and raised his hand to beckon Xiao Er, deliberately ordering food very enthusiastically in front of Ji Yao, "Bring up the best dishes in your teahouse, and go and make a good pot ......of tea immediately."

Ji Yao saw the prince working so busy in front of her, so she was embarrassed to interrupt the prince, when she walked into the grid, she found that there was still a Zhu Shang in the grid, Ji Yao was taken aback at first, but soon, she calmed down again.

The prince naturally didn't know the relationship between Ji Yao and Zhu Shang, otherwise he wouldn't have said comfortingly after seeing Ji Yao always looking at Zhu Shang: "Don't worry, he is my confidant." ”

Ji Yao glanced at Zhu Shang quietly, she also knew that Zhu Shang was extremely important in the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince, but she didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to believe in Zhu Shang so much, and there was not even half a doubt in her eyes.

"This king came to you today mainly to talk to you about the misunderstanding these days." After the prince sat down, he didn't mean to delay for a minute, and immediately opened his mouth, staring at Ji Yao tightly with a pair of eyes, saying that he was kind but didn't see half of it.

Ji Yao saw that all she was wary and anxious, and she was not in a hurry to reply at the moment, but just bowed her head slightly and motioned to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to continue, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded when he saw this: "You also know that the Chang family has cooperated with the East Palace for so many years, and they don't know much about the East Palace, and the same is true for the East Palace." We should have supported each other and moved forward together, but we were disrupted by someone with a heart. Some time ago, when the Chang family had an accident, in fact, as long as you came to find this king, this king would definitely help, so this king did not make a move at that time, but always waited for you to come to this king, but unfortunately, you didn't mean that. But no matter what, it has come to this point, this king thinks that you should now know very well whose camp you should stand on, there is no benefit in following the king of Ding, what you get is only to be abandoned and used, only by following the East Palace, can you protect the Changchang family, this king believes that you understand what this king means. ”

"Ji Yao understands...... "After hearing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say this, Ji Yao's first reaction was to nod his head, but he felt a little ridiculous in his heart.

The prince is really good at talking, he can literally say that what is dead is alive, what Ji Yao can't understand is that the Chang family is already in danger now, why does the prince want to win him over at this time?

Faced with this doubt, Ji Yao naturally set her eyes on Zhu Shang, but Zhu Shang did not catch her gaze, but quietly opened her eyes without any reaction.

This made Ji Yao very embarrassed, because she didn't know how to face the woo that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had voted for now, if she refused directly, it wouldn't matter, but if the prince's wooing was sincere, then how could Ji Yao miss this perfect opportunity to be a double agent?

The problem is troublesome, Ji Yao feels that the prince's behavior is not really co-opting, but has other thoughts, who would believe a person who has abandoned himself and wants to kill himself?

If she readily agreed today, then who knows what the prince will do next? So Ji Yao very much hoped that Zhu Shang could give him a reaction, but he didn't expect Zhu Shang to be too cautious today, as if he didn't know himself, although Ji Yao didn't know why he was so cautious, he didn't dare to make too much movement.

"So you mean to promise the king?" The prince obviously knew that what Ji Yao said was vague, and he also knew that she didn't promise him at all, what Ji Yao said just now was just for the words in the prince's mouth, but now he was still pretending to be confused and wanted to force Ji Yao to say something.

"This ...... Ji Yao didn't dare to hide His Royal Highness the Prince, to this day, Ji Yao was too scared, Ji Yao didn't know what would happen next, and now the Chang family was so down, whether it could survive was still a question, so Ji Yao probably couldn't agree to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today. ”
